A Special Event for a Special Cause – The Polar Plunge for Special Olympics!

Mark your calendars today for February 26 at 2 PM! It’s the annual polar plunge at Lake of the Ozarks! This is a fabulous event to raise money for Special Olympics, where you will see participants dressed up in colorful costumes and festive themes just to be “Freezing for a Reason” as they jump into the lake to support this awesome charity. This kind of community spirit is exactly why people love living at Lake of the Ozarks. Whether you participate or prefer to be a spectator, it’s an event you don’t want to miss. We have the details for you in this blog so you can save the date!

Special Olympics provides valuable opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate in sports competitions and athletic training in a number of Olympic-style sports categories. The athletes who participate enjoy all the benefits … not just from the physical activity, but also the camaraderie, the relationships, as well as the strength they develop from facing challenges and learning new skills. That is why Your Favorite Real Estate Team is so proud of our community for supporting this charity.

This one-of-a-kind event promises a fun atmosphere complete with music, funny costumes, and lasting memories for everyone!

NO DIVING IS ALLOWED AT ANY OF OUR PLUNGES! THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Polar Plunge is a family-friendly event. Special Olympics Missouri promotes inclusion as a way of life for not only our athletes but everyone at our events. We reserve the right to ask anyone to alter/remove their costume if found offensive or harmful to those in attendance.

At-home Plunge:

If you aren't comfortable participating in person, we understand. You can still support local Special Olympics Missouri athletes through our At-home Plunge. Register as an At-home Plunger, raise your money, and plunge from home by 'plunging' into a kiddie pool, taking an ice cold shower, running through a sprinkler, or creating your own “plunge.” Whatever you do, have fun, be safe and share a video of your At-home Plunge!

You may mail offline donations to: Special Olympics Missouri, LOZ Polar Plunge, 305 Special Olympics Dr., Jefferson City, MO 65101 Please include the names of the Plungers in the memo line of checks.
